"Anything" is a single by the Damned, released 6 November 1986 on MCA.

Previewing the group's new album of the same name, the song saw a slight move away from the Goth rock of Phantasmagoria, to a more mainstream rock sound. The single received lukewarm reviews, and considering the success of the previous album and "Eloise", its UK Singles Chart peak of No. 32 was seen as a disappointment.

MCA also issued the single in Ireland and Australia.
